The dockworkers didn't reach a new deal, they just suspended the strike and agreed to go back to work while talks continued. The truth is they HAD to as it's the law, it's called the Taft-Hartley act.

The jobs report will get revised downward after the election, just like the last one...

Biden/Harris must really believe Americans are clueless.

Dementia-in-chief didn't invoke Taft-Hartley - said he wouldn't do it. I am wondering about a "side deal" with the union to go back to work to erase one of the Dims problems before the election.

He didn't really have to, pressure was mounting from some major voting blocks and the threat of Taft-Hartley was enough, the Union decided to wait it out until after the election. To be clear there is no new labor agreement, the strike was just suspended.

Probably (as you suggest) as a result of some backdoor deal....

brandon just kicked the can down the road till after the election ,if his party gets in they will have to do adult stuff but right now they are spiking the football saying we adverted the strike and the sheep are thrilled they have toilet paper. On the flip side if the dems lose its trumps problem but the dems can brag that they made a deal but trump blew it with cnn headlining it.....just good old politics 101 ....that union boss is a real fuktard
